Premier Lifeline: the National Christian Helpline is a confidential telephone helpline offering emotional and spiritual support from a Christian perspective along with a listening ear and prayer.

For over 22 years, Premier Lifeline has been available to take calls from people wanting someone to talk to and in need of help. In that time we have taken over 1.3 million calls.

To meet the ever increasing number of calls, we are seeking to dramatically increase the number of volunteers at Premier Lifeline over the next few years from our existing 130 volunteers to over 500, so that we are always able to be there for everyone who calls in need of support and prayer.

Do you have what it takes to be a volunteer with Premier Lifeline?

Volunteers are at the heart of Premier Lifeline - without our volunteers the service would not exist.

Can you be a 'Lifeline' to those in need of help and support?

We are looking for committed, caring and considerate people to become volunteer Lifeline listeners. You need to have access to a landline telephone and be able to offer a regular commitment of 4 hours per week.

You will be fully trained by experienced trainers to prepare you for your role and will receive on-going support.

As we seek to dramatically expand the ministry of Premier Lifeline, it is crucial that this is covered in prayer. With the increasing number of calls and desperate need for more resources to meet demand, we know this battle is a spiritual one and that is why we are calling you to pray.

Will you stand with Premier Lifeline in Prayer?

In the next 12 months Premier Lifeline will receive over 152,000 calls and we are asking you to pray for the Lifeliners who will answer the calls, the staff who train and support the Premier Lifeline Team, and for those who call in need of help and support.

Premier Lifeline also desperately needs more resources to train volunteers and support the Lifeline team so that we can achieve our vision of making it available 24/7. We trust that God will release the resources needed and are calling on you to stand with us in prayer.

"For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and His ears are attentive to their prayer" 1 Peter 3.12

It’s great to be on the front line of Christian ministry, but it can certainly be challenging and we need your ongoing prayer support.
